Removing it from onboot list system starts with X, but screen is shifted, bottom 20% and right 20% cca. is blank. upper left corner is out of screen. Exit to prompt gives blank screen with no cursor, no prompt.

OK, maybe this test is not fair as I'm testing with an exiting tce dir, but do not see reason why it doesn't work with norestore

Relating to the booting lockup - I added a timeout for the getFlash11.tcz that will exit and allow booting to continue. I thought I also added it to getFlash10, but I just did now, so an update would allow it to remain in onboot.lst.

How to upgrade from 4_1 (not working for me..) to 4_2?Seems to be a headache with the amount of modification..Startpoint is 4_1 Microcore and Xorg7_4 (and all others for looking like TCL).When indicated; I will test.

If your starting point is 4_1 Microcore and Xorg7_4 then not difficult at all.Replace microcore.gz with core.gz and be sure to update the files likely in your backup and ondemand (if any).Update extensions from the release candidate area as explained in the announcement.

Files likely in your backup that will need to be updated:.setbackground.profile.xsession

Note: You must recreate all ondemand items. Use AppsAudit OnDemand Maintenance.

if user has only Windows and downloaded ISO, how to create a bootable USB stick?

CorePlus is a bootable isohybrid image. This means booting from cdrom or usb pendrive is supported.Such user has two choices to use our provided installation tools,1. Burn cdrom from CorePlus iso, boot CorePlus, select install choices.2. Write the CorePlus.iso directly to pendrive, boot CorePlus from pendrive, and install to another pendrive with their choices.

I see many options for Windows users that are basically equivalents to nix dd command. I will leave recommendations to community members more familiar with Windows.

I am puzzled why now? CorePlus is a replacement for MultiCore with a much improved installer. The same methods to boot MultiCore apply to CorePlus. In fact, the genesis for MultiCore was with Windows and no net access users to get started with Core.
